The countdown’s on for the biggest sporting event in four years — the Olympic Games.

On the downside, as far as our usual betting tips and predictions for this week 29 are concerned, the Olympics is a relatively small event. While the teams competing are, indeed, national teams, that’s really only in name. At least, that’s the way it is as far as our soccer score predictions are concerned. That’s simply because of UEFA rules preventing teams from fielding their usual national teams in the Olympics so as not to compete with the World Cup for prestige. (See the FAQ on our Olympic Football Tournament predictions page for details on this.)

On the upside, there are a ton of sportsbooks taking bets on the Olympic games. And, armed with our expert predictions, you’ve got everything you need to have a fun and profitable two weeks. Just don’t forget to use our smart Bet Now links before placing your bets if you want the best odds on these games.

Of course, we’re not just about the Olympics here at CXSports, so you’ll find all our usual coverage ahead, including our upcoming F1 podium predictions and the latest from the Argentine first division.

With all that out of the way, let’s get into the betting tips.
